Summary
An international boycott against US goods is intensifying across Canada, Europe, and beyond in reaction to authoritarian policies and trade tariffs under Trump’s second administration.
Consumer boycotts have notably hurt Tesla, exacerbated by Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s administration, causing Tesla’s share price to plummet.
Cultural boycotts, including canceled tours and rejected US-made products, are widespread, reflecting anger over US policies and Trump’s stance on Ukraine.
Analysts emphasize this unprecedented backlash signals declining global trust in the US, with a shift towards ethical consumerism driven by political anger and activism.

Good. As an American, I say we need this. We have shown the world our cowardly, ignorant stripes by electing Donald Trump as our president for the second time, after witnessing the shit-show of his first term; clearly, we have not learned our lesson. We deserve to be abandoned by our allies for how our chosen president is treating them.
I’m not ashamed, as I voted for Kamala against Trump, but clearly too many of my countrymen need a wake-up call.
One thing about boycotting the likes of Amazon is that I realize that I don’t need any more junk.
Love to see this! Not sure it will gain enough momentum though. I think it will cost too many economies too much to boycott US markets for an extended amount of time.
Shit. I’m an American and I’m trying to boycott American goods.
Do your thing world. You’ve got my support.
